HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Taylor was originally going to be a "pop star" and was very excited about it. She had the perfect microphone headset she was going to wear with her costume. Well we went to go trick or treating and to the carnival on base and half way there she realized she forgot the headset, and of course she was all upset about it. So we stopped at the BX and altered her costume a little bit. She is now a WITCH, and a very cute one at that...



And here is Miss Tinkerbell. She was so cute and excited to be Tinkerbell. She LOVED trick or treating even though it was COLD outside and wanted to keep going and going and going. After one house I asked her if she said thank you and she yelled YEAH. Then when she ran back to me she goes "actually no mom, I say thanks." Dont you love the honesty of little kids? Everytime she got candy she would run off so excited and scream "I GOT MORE CANDY!!!"

One More Pumpkin!

Bill insisted that the boys needed a pumpkin of their very own. Im not sure how he talked me into this, but the girls had a GREAT time painting! Taylor did the eyes and Kennady did the nose and mouth, all with a little help from Dad of course!








You can really see how big my belly is in this one! Its huge, even my BIG maternity clothes barely cover it anymore! Oh well though only about 3 more weeks to go! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Pumpkin Carving!!

So I totally uploaded these in the wrong order, but thats okay. The kids were both so excited about carving pumpkins this year! Dont they look so happy
Here is Kennady and her finished pumpkin... arent they cute!?!



Taylor and Kennady with all the finished pumpkins

Bill the master carver, hard at work

Kennady would actually dig "guts" out with the spoon. She still wouldnt touch it with her hands, but it was an improvement from last year!

Taylor working hard to clean her pumpkin out!

Goofy Girl!

Grandma sent these Goofy Glasses to Kennady and she LOVES them. Every time she puts them on we crack up though, because they like strap on and velcro in the back and she looks like the biggest dork!




This pose fits the glasses perfectly!

Fall Leaf Project

For those of you who dont know, my friend Katie has been living with us over here in England. She is great, with the kids and always doing "projects" with them. They latest one, they went for a walk and each picked out four leaves, then when they got home they put them under their paper and colored over the top. They were both very excited to see the leaf print come through!

Here is Kennady, so very proud of her work!

The next American Idol....

Kennady LOVES to sing! She waits all week long to go to nursery so she can "sing songs with the kids". Here she is singing some of her favorites "I am a child of God" and "Tomorrow" from her favorite movie "Annie". We are going to take her to an "Annie" musical in a couple weeks!

Our two little boys!

This ultrasound was actually done quite a while ago, at 16 weeks, when we found out we are having two baby boys!! I just realized that I dont have a single ultrasound picture of them up yet! The images that we get now are getting worse and worse, they say its because there isnt enough room to get a good one, but oh well, here they are already as handsome as can be!!




We found these onsies the day we found out they were boys and just HAD to get them!

Farewell to the LIBRARY!!

I will admit that the base here has a GREAT kids section in the library, but I am very glad that I have the internet in my own HOME now. We will have to go back often because Kennady LOVES the library. We do go every Friday morning for story time though!


Here is Kennady happy as can be! She loves the library!

Think she will make a career of it???

Big Belly Pics!

I have had several requests for belly pics so I decided to give in! I am not however putting any bare belly ones, just to spare you all! Here I am at 30 weeks... HUGE!!!



Just to add a little cuteness to this post here is the cutest 2 year old in the whole world!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTDAY!!!!

Taylor turned 9 this year on september 29th. I can not believe she is 9 years old already! For her party we had cake and ice cream and opened presents as a family on her actual birthday and then we had her very good friend Delina spend the night that weekend.... yes her cake is rice crispies, because if you know Taylor she likes cake, but not as much as other things, as she would put it! haha



Taylor and Delina, enjoying their yummy treats!


Kennady was SO excited for this the whole day. She kept saying "its taylors happy birthday" and she just couldnt get enough of all the excitement! Taylor was very nice to let Kennady help her open a few of her presents!

Belgium...

was amazing! I know it has taken me forever to post these, but I figured better late than never...
This one is just a scenic picture, but is is SOOO pretty there!



Yes the rumors on the chocolates are true... DELICIOUS!!!!


These horse drawn carriages are everywhere! In fact when we first got there me and a couple other inocent bystanders just about got trampled.... they dont slow down or anything, if you are in their path you are in trouble!


Just the two of us! We went by ourselves so this is the best picture we got!


The very best part of the whole trip was the waffles... we went to the same little cafe twice in one day because they were so good... MMM my mouth is watering just thinking about them HAHA

Another Baby Update....

So I had another ultrasound yesterday and everything is still looking good! I think I am going to die though if these babies gain any more weight! haha They each weight about 4 lbs. 3 oz. now. I am 30 weeks, so I have 6 more weeks to go, but everybody is really starting to question if I am going to make it that far! Even the doctor said that if they dont slow down in growth then he things I will have them early. So we will just have to wait and see what happens. Anyways... I still havnt posted pictures from Taylors birthday, but stay tuned because they are coming!

TWO BIG BOYS!!!

So I finally had an ultrasound yesterday! YAY! We found out that we are having some BIG baby boys! haha They are each measuring in the 95th percentile, and that chart is based off of single babies so they are even bigger than that for twins. They each weight about 3 lbs. 7 oz., so I am carrying about 7 lbs. worth of baby already! YIKES since I am only 28 weeks! Good thing that twins are full term at 36 weeks!

Bowling FUN!

The base we are at is TINY, but we do have a bowling alley! Much smaller than the one we were used to but still a lot of fun! Here is taylor showing off her bowling skills!

And here is Bill...

And Kennady! She was so proud of herself whether she hit 1 pin or all 10. The only problem was towards the end she wanted to do it all by herself and the ball would literally go 1 mile an hour.... it took forever!

Stonehenge!

Our first real trip we went to Stonehenge. There is another military base that is just about 30 minutes away from stonehenge so we decided to drive down there and visit. It was amazing and both kids loved it. Kennady kept saying, those rocks are huge, the go all the way to the sky!




Here is a picture of Kennady and I! I know you all are thinking I have gotten huge in the month since you have seen me... I am even bigger now! YIKES!!


Bill and the girls enjoying themselves. Yes bill is holding Kennadys jacket as she seems to think that we are still in Idaho weather and refuses to wear it! Katie went with us too, but for some reason I dont have a single picture of her! She must have been avoiding me!

First day of YEAR 4!!!

So as you guys probably know Taylor is attending a British school this year! We thought it would be a great way for her to meet friends and really get the whole cultural experience! She is so proud to wear her uniform everyday and she loves that she gets to wear a skirt about 3 or 4 times a week. Here she is after the first day of school, very excited! She is doing really well with everything! Things are a little harder than she is used to but she is doing great. She has really been challenged and its helping a lot with her behavior in class. She actually has to think about her work instead of finishing it in 2 seconds. The spelling words are WAY harder, but she has been great at studying them everynight and I know she will be completely caught up in no time. She is really looking forward to her field trip to a viking village coming up, and they start swimming after Christmas break. She is very proud of her newly found french skills and she is even teaching Kennady how to speak french! Anyways... she loves school and she is doing GREAT at it!

Ripley Castle

Visiting this castle was one of the first little adventures we went on. It is only like 10 minutes away from our house. It was so BEAUTIFUL!!! The whole time I was thinking, Amanda needs to come here just to take pictures! Here is a picture of me and the girls just enjoying the scenery! Kennady loved it because she could see the water and waterfall and their were cows all around. We are probably going to go back to have a picnic sometime because it was just amazing!


Here is a picture of the outside of the castle. It was huge. We went on a tour of the inside, but nobody else was taking pictures so I didnt know if you were allowed to or not. Taylor got to try on real "knights armour" and she was very excited and proud of that. The family that owns this castle actually still live on the top floor of it.

Here are the girls enjoying the sunshine... we dont get much of that around here. It rains COSTANTLY!! That big ston stucture tha tyou can see them walking towards used to be used to store eel. Its a big tank and I guess eel was a major delecacy back in the day so when the family had visitors they would just go out to the tank and catch an eel!

This one is just for my brothers! We see Lambraghinis EVERYWHERE!!! We are in a very rich part of England, and I just had tohave proof that we have seen them. Kennady saw this picture and said "theres mommy's car" I wish Kenna! I didnt feel to bad taking pictures of it as there was another British family doing the same...

England...

When we first go to England we stayed in a little flat downtown. It was actually really nice because we could walk everywhere! This is a picture of the girls right outside our front door. Dont you love how GREEN it is.




This is the building that we stayed in. That street was TINY and when we finally did get our car we did NOT like to park there. We were in flat two so the second floor of the building. It was really really convenient but a little too small! haha
